I’m not claiming anything; I agree that the election was decided correctly. My point, and this was a tangential thing anyway, was that it was at least understandable why people would feel that way. The law doesn’t support them but more people voted against him so at least there’s a logic to it. Trumps claim of winning in 2020 is based on nothing more than his desire to remain in office, even his henchman Barr said there was nothing to support that.

I agree, I’m just saying that at least there’s an understandable reasoning behind the claim.

Here you go. In addition to the article there’s a clip of Trump phoning in to Fox News saying it near the bottom of the page.

Obviously, but that is the concept behind the illegitimacy of Trump’s term, he did not have a winning percentage of the voting population behind him, he simply benefited from the deeply flawed electoral college, gerrymandering etc.

Gore admitted defeat for the good of the country, even though his case was not built on lies the way Trumps is. Calling Trump an illegitimate president has roots in issues with the electoral college vs Trump not winning the majority of the popular vote; easy enough to disagree with perhaps but again at least it’s based on rational argument and not willful deception. And while I’m far from a Biden fan, he’s not trying to take away your choice, you are free to vote for whomever you like, he’s just making it clear what the very likely consequences of giving the republicans the keys to our elections will be. I can’t say the dems have been terribly inspiring, but the alternative means the very real possibility of permanently rigged elections.

Have you paid any attention to the voter suppression efforts on the right? Trump himself has said that if everyone who could vote did vote, there would never be another republican elected to office. Combine that with election deniers in positions of voting authority in red states. So no, this is not a ridiculous argument at all, as much as I wish it was.

I’m not party affiliated, I lean left but occasionally I feel the right offers a better candidate. I’m not impressed by anyone in the current cycle but this year it’s an easy choice: dems across the board regardless of what I think about them. Choose republican and it might be the last real choice you get to make if they win.

Reply to RI transplant: what order do I get new driver’s license, registration, insurance and VIN check? by climb-high
I moved here about sixteen months ago, and when presenting my VIN check at the RMV the clerk told me they were no longer necessary. I’ve mentioned this before and been contradicted, so I have no idea if it really is necessary or not. Worth looking into, it might save you some time and money.

I’m a big fan of their marguerita pizza, and my wife loves a white pizza with portabello & sautéed onion.

There’s better, there’s worse, but Pepe’s is certainly enjoyable.
